ESD Warning

Electronic components and circuits are sensitive to

Electro Static Discharge (ESD). When handling any

circuit board assemblies including Connect Tech

VXG/DXG System, it is recommended that ESD safety

precautions be observed. ESD safe best practices include,

but are not limited to:

Leaving circuit boards in their antistatic packaging

until they are ready to be installed.

Using a grounded wrist strap when handling circuit

boards, at a minimum you should touch a grounded

metal object to dissipate any static charge that may be

present on you.

Only handling circuit boards in ESD safe areas, which

may include ESD floor and table mats, wrist strap

stations and ESD safe lab coats.

Avoiding handling circuit boards in carpeted areas.

Try to handle the board by the edges, avoiding contact

with components.

Introduction

Connect Tech’s COM Express® + GPU Embedded System from Connect Tech combines the latest generation

x86 processors with high-end Graphics Processing Units (GPU) all into a ruggedized small form factor

embedded system. Choose from Intel® Xeon® E3-1515M/1505L options and from NVIDIA® Quadro®,

Tesla®, and GeForce® GPUs for applications that require access to CUDA Cores and the ability to process

complex mathematics in parallel of the on-board x86 CPU.

This embedded system exposes all of the latest generation interconnect including: Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0

and 2.0, DisplayPort++, VGA, LVDS, SATA III, GPIO, I2C, mSATA, miniPCIe, PCIe/104 and SD Card

Expansion. This embedded system uses all locking ruggedized positive latching connectors.

VXG part numbers have Passive Heat Spreaders that are to be installed into a Customer Designed End Thermal

Solution. DXGs part numbers have an Active Cooling Solution with Integrated Support Frame.

Video/Display outputs The VXG/DXG System combines the video output ability of a COM Express Type-6 Module with that of a

GPU. There are 8 possible outputs sources, depending on the COM Express module and GPU configuration

VGA Video (COM Express Output)

To allow for greater flexibility, the VXG/DXG System provides a VGA Video Output. Routed directly from

the COM Express Type-6 Module, this provides additional video output formats for operation.

most monitors available. Please see the DisplayPort-HDMI/DVI switching description for details.

Two DisplayPort++ connections from the COM Express module are available and can be configured to output

DisplayPort, or HDMI/DVI through the use of the appropriate cable. The configuration of each interface is

setup via the COM Express module’s BIOS settings. Refer to the COM Express module’s documentation for

more details.

Up to an additional four DisplayPort++ from the GPU are also available and can be configured to output

DisplayPort, or HDMI/DVI through the use of the appropriate cable. Please refer to the GPU Summary for

more details on GPU Outputs.

DisplayPort-HDMI/DVI Switching

The VXG/DXG Systems DisplayPort++ connectors can be used to display outputs other than DisplayPort.

On-board switching circuitry to enable HDMI or DVI has been included. The VXG/DXG COM Express

DisplayPort Connectors may require a change to the COM Express BIOS to swap output formats. However the

GPU DisplayPort Connectors are Hot Swappable and require only a cable change.

PCIe/104 Expansion

The VXG/DXG System provides the addition of PCIe/104 Type 2 Stack ability. This enables up to Four

PCIe/104 cards to be added atop of the VXG/DXG System. PCIe/104 Female to Female standoffs ship with all

VXG/DXG products to allow for PCIe/104 Card integration.

The VXG/DXG PCIe/104 Connector is a PCIe/104 Type 2. This means that it connects only Four PCIe x1

Links in Bank 1; and has x2 SATA Links with one in Bank 2 and the other in Bank 3. There are no PCIe x4, or

x8, or x16 provided to this connector.

Jumper – Power Control (J725)

Function Power Control

Location J725


PULLUP +3.3V Stand By Connected to PWR_OK

PGOOD PGOOD Connected to PWR_OK

SD Enable/Disable COM Express Shutdown Functionality

Power Control Option 1 – ATX Style Power Control

J725 Position Jumper ON/OFF

PULLUP OFF

PGOOD ON

SD ON

When the Power Control Jumpers are setup to enable “ATX Style Power Control” it will exhibit the following

behaviour:

- When power is applied to the Input Power Connector (P700), the system will ONLY turn on its “Always

On” voltages (or standby rails).

- The system power and COM Express CPU is then controlled by the PWRBTN# signal. The PWRBTN# is

meant to be connected to GND via a Mom-Off switch. When the PWRBTN# signal is pulsed low the

COM Express CPU and all of the main on-board voltage rails will power ON.

- This mode allows the system to go into suspend and sleep modes.

- Since the SD jumper is install when the system is triggered to power down from the PWRBTN# or the host

operating system all of the main on-board voltage rails will turn OFF. However the always on (or standby

rails) will remain on.

Power Control Option 2 – AT Style Power Control

J725 Position Jumper ON/OFF

PULLUP ON

PGOOD OFF

SD OFF

When the Power Control Jumpers are setup to enable “AT Style Power Control” it will exhibit the following

behaviour:

- When power is applied to the Input Power Connector (P700), the system will turn on all of its on-board

power rails.

- This mode is useful if you intend the system to be powered on whenever power is applied, without the need

for a power button.

- To turn OFF all power to the system, the input power must be turned OFF

RTC Battery

This carrier has a Panasonic BR1225A/FA Lithium battery providing 3V@ 48mAh to VBAT. VBAT is the

supply for the RTC Clock of the COM Express module.

If the BR1225A is not sufficient for the application, an external battery can be connected to P19 with J4

selection jumper set appropriately.

For further information about RTC battery selection and life time estimation, see Application Note 00009

CTIN-00009 http://connecttech.com/pdf/CTIN-00009.pdf

Note: the battery ships with a non-conductive label to prevent accidental discharge. It can be removed before

installation.

Typical Hardware Installation Procedure

1. Ensure all external system power supplies are OFF.

2. Install the necessary cables for the application. At a minimum, this would include:

a) Power cable to the input power connector

b) Connect a video display cable

c) Keyboard and mouse via USB

d) SATA or mSATA hard drive

For additional information on the relevant cables, please see the Cables and Interconnects section of this

manual.

3. Connect the power cable to power supply

4. Ensure your power supply is in the range of +12V to +48V DC

5. Switch ON the power supply. DO NOT power up your system by plugging in live power.

On-board Indicator LEDs The VXG/DXG System has 10 on-board indicator LEDs.
